abstract = {Silicon quantum chips offer a promising path toward
scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing, with the
potential to host millions of qubits. However, scaling up
dense quantum-dot arrays and enabling qubit interconnections
through shuttling are hindered by uncontrolled lateral
variations of the valley splitting energy $E_{VS}$. We map
$E_{VS}$ across a $40 \, $nm x $400 \, $nm region of a
$^{28}$Si/Si$_{0.7}$Ge$_{0.3}$ shuttle device and analyze
the spin coherence of a single electron spin transported by
conveyor-belt shuttling. We observe that the $E_{VS}$ varies
over a wide range from $1.5 \, μ$eV to $200 \, μ$eV and is
dominated by SiGe alloy disorder. In regions of low $E_{VS}$
and at spin-valley resonances, spin coherence is reduced and
its dependence on shuttle velocity matches predictions.
Rapid and frequent traversal of low-$E_{VS}$ regions induces
a regime of enhanced spin coherence explained by motional
narrowing. By selecting shuttle trajectories that avoid
problematic areas on the $E_{VS}$ map, we achieve transport
over tens of microns with coherence limited only by the
coupling to a static electron spin entangled with the mobile
qubit. Our results provide experimental confirmation of the
theory of spin-decoherence of mobile electron spin-qubits
and present practical strategies to integrate conveyor-mode
qubit shuttling into silicon quantum chips.},
